RE: buddy box
Yes just look at the port on the back to see if it is round or square. Most of the newer stuff has a small square port for the cord & the older radios had a bigger round port. You can get all three configurations at Tower Hobbies from about $9.99 to $11.99 ( I think) could be wrong about the price but they are something like that. They have round to round, square to square, & round to square, which is the one I needed. Since you are doing Futaba to Futaba, one of those 3 cords will fit. Just look at the back of both radios to see which one you need.
